Hello guys,
I just played a hand in 2NL and I wanted to hear your oppinion on it.
Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 5 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: $2.18 (109 bb)
Hero (BB): $2.74 (137 bb)
MP: $0.83 (41.5 bb)
CO: $2.15 (107.5 bb)
BTN: $3.88 (194 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T♥: K♥:
2 folds, BTN raises to $0.05, SB folds, Hero calls $0.03

Flop: ($0.11) 5♥: 3♥: T♠: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.06, BTN raises to $0.20, Hero raises to $2.69, BTN calls $2.49

Turn: ($5.49) 2♣: (2 players)
River: ($5.49) 8♣: (2 players)

Results:

Spoiler

$5.49 pot ($0.19 rake)
Final Board: 5♥: 3♥: T♠: 2♣: 8♣:
Hero showed T♥: K♥: and lost (-$2.74 net)
BTN showed 5♠: 3♠: and won $5.30 ($2.56 net)

I'm not really sure if the All-In was the right decision or a huge mistake. I thought I had some fold equity and my Top Pair and the Flush Door backed it up.

At the point you make the raise, there's $0.37 in the pot. You raise $2.12 (effectively). Thats 5x or more times the pot.

Sure, you have FE and outs and all that, but you want to make more money than just making him fold everything except absolute nuts in a small pot. I'd say your play is little more than break even in the long run, and brings huge variance when called.

(B t w, villain probably read you for what you had. Some interpret huge bets as bluffs. Take notes.)

Thank you for your answer!

What would you have done in my spot?

I'd have reraised, but not AI.

Well, that would be only if I had donked on the flop. I rarely do that. It is sometimes a good play though.

I wouldn't have donked OTF. My line would have been check call or maybe check raise.
I think that shove OTF is a bit of an overplay.

I would 3bet pre-flop. As played I just call OTF. Raise seems good as well, but I like more just to call. All in is overplayed for sure. I like the donk, its small pot and we hit the flop and there is no insurance, villain is cbetting. I don´t like c/c either. Good options, as I see it, are c/r or donking only.

My god, talk about overplaying :P

Preflop some would 3bet indeed but I like the call, Janda said to call and I'm Janda's bitch.
(I could be Snowie's bitch too but I watched movies like Terminator which taught me not to trust computers too much)

More seriously on the flop it's horrible you're value cutting yourself hard.
I'd x/r and anyway if I had the strange idea of donking I'd certainly not reraise/push right away.
